Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Gradually stir in the processed cheese and Cheddar cheese, one handful at a time, until completely melted and smooth.
08 Step

5 mins
Gently stir in the cooked broccoli and continue cooking until the broccoli is tender and the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to boil the soup after adding the cheese.
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock.
To prevent the cheese from clumping, shred it yourself instead of using pre-shredded cheese.
If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after adding the broccoli. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup gummy.
